Second Course of New Year Dinner Course

Porkchop with Mushroom Gravy

The porkchop was marinated with olive oil, rosemary and season with salt and pepper,
and put into fridge for few hours before cooking.
Heat the grill/large pan with a dash of oil and butter.Put the porkchop on grill/pan for 5-6 mins before turning.Sprinkle with parsley and pepper to build up the flavor.Once cooked both side take out and rest on plate for a while before serve. We need to rest it because it allow the juice to be suck back by the meat so it will be juicy when you bite on it. Porkchop should not be too overdone as it will make it too firm. I done that before...
Now gravy nothing too complex here.Use the leftovers oil and the meat that stuck to your pan for the base.Use butter to soften it up and scrap out the meat pour and after that pour in a puree of mushrooms. Swirl it occasionally and simmer in low heat to reduce to preferred thickness and serve with porkchop.
This is my New Year Dinner Course. Simple and it make my wife happy.
Have a great new year everyone.
